An early morning traffic crash into a power pole has caused a need to extend the street closure of the northbound lanes of Lancaster DR NE between D and Center STS NE.

Additionally, utility crews will need to shut down power for an extended period of approximately six hours. The grid shut down will impact traffic signals, as well as power to nearby homes and businesses. If you must traverse the area, please drive with caution and attention to other traffic movement.

Residents with questions about their power utility should contact Portland General Electric.
